Things need not have happened to be true, tales and dreams are the shadow truths that

will endure with mere podcasts, our dust and ashes, and forgot.

But let us not forget that this keykestery lesson on Neil Gaiman's The Sandman is now

in session.

Hello and welcome to Geek History Lesson. I am Jason Dream Inman.

I am Ashley Victoria Robinson. Welcome to your mind university because you have

stumbled onto the podcast where we take one character, construct or I don't know what

this family is called in popular culture and teach you everything you need to know about them

and about an hour. And there's a Sandman show. So we're talking about Sandman.

That's right. There is a brand new live action. The Sandman series that is going to premiere

on August 5th on Netflix. And so I thought let's take a deep dive into one of the most

critically beloved comic book series of all time. Now if you are a fan of our podcast or if

you're new, hello, welcome. But if you are a fan of our podcast, this will be very similar to

our expanse episode that we did because I'm not going to tell you every single thing that happens

in Sandman. You should pull out an or dominated book and you should read it. But also what

is going to do is is going to give you a taste of the Sandman world. I'm going to give you some

basic characters. I'm going to give you enough sense of where the show might be going because I

want to excite you to check out this new show. I want to excite you so that you read this new series

because you should real read Neil Gaiman's The Sandman because it is no hyperbole, no exaggeration.

It is one of the greatest comic book series of all time. Let me repeat that. Neil Gaiman's The Sandman

is one of the greatest comic book series of all time. Full stop. Thoughts actually.

I read like half of the first volume. Yes. And it's going to excite you to read the rest.
